TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

After the conversation Liu Yang had with Rosella, he managed to come up with a good plan to deal with the assassins, but the members of his group need to be strong enough and skilled to perform each of their tasks.

So, Liu Yang started training them so they can improve their combat skills and learn the right moments to use their skills.

The group continued training during the night against other nocturnal creatures, Liu Yang moved the carriage to another location and they found another group of nocturnal creatures. They did intense and tiring training.

After that, they returned to the same place as before. Liu Yang wanted to fight again in the same place.

This time, the goal was not to kill the nocturnal creatures but to learn how to control the battle so that they can last longer and create favorable situations when fighting against the assassins.

The two members who will be the key to victory are Heidi and Lilaris. If they manage to get their skills right on targets, they will have a chance to win the fight.

If the necklace's zombification ability is activated, the chances of winning would be greater. So, Liu Yang did some tests on the nocturnal creatures.

Using a sharp sword, Liu Yang made several small cuts to the bodies of the nocturnal beasts, the cuts caused little damage. The effects of the necklace have only been activated a few times.

In the second test, Liu Yang increased the wounds by using a larger sword. The cuts were deep and bloody. The results encouraged Liu Yang, because the bigger the wound caused, the greater the chance of the effect activating.

Liu Yang did other tests, they cut off the arms and legs of the nocturnal creatures, the injured places were rotting quickly. This shows that heavy and bloody damage can activate the necklace's effect faster.

In other words, the heavier the wound, the more chances the effect will be activated.

To prevent others from seeing what he was doing. Liu Yang placed the carriage outside the barrier and left Rosella and Neal inside the barrier.

Whenever Liu Yang captured a nocturnal beast for his tests, he would get into the carriage and no one knew what he was doing. After discovering the things he needed, Liu Yang let his group suffer a little by fighting the nocturnal beasts.

The group will fight until they are extremely tired and close to death, as this is to stimulate their survival instincts. Liu Yang let them fight until close to death.

Each of them managed to reach the maximum level allowed by the location.

…

Liu Yang did not leave the place, he stayed in the same place as before and continued to train the three women and the five beasts. He would wash away that previous defeat by defeating the assassins in the same spot as before.

His group understood that Liu Yang wanted to beat the assassins in the same place that he was defeated, they could only do what they could to fulfill Liu Yang's wish.

June and Alwine were more focused on training than the others, as they also lost the previous fight. Especially, Alwine, she was the person who suffered the most damage because of the attack by the assassin's leader.

Thus, the pair fought to the limit of their bodies.

Rosella and Neal do not meddle in the affairs of Liu Yang and his group, they just watched the group train intensively every day. Neal did not comment on whether they were postponing the trip a little, as Rosella asked him not to say anything.

…

A few days later…

At nightfall...

Liu Yang and his group were ready. As before, he, June, and Alwine were outside the barrier, but no one replaced Rosella. She and her brother were inside the protective barrier.

The carriage was outside the barrier, the other members of the group were hidden and waiting for their turn to act.

"Auuu!!!" June howled at the horizon. The group looked in that direction, they saw their enemies.

Some shadows can be seen on the horizon, each of which was mounted on horses. Each of them was wearing black robes that cover their bodies.

trom… tron… errrrhhhh !!!! trom… tron… errrrhhhh !!!!

ehhrrr !!! ehhrrr !!! ehhrrr !!!

"You can stop" The group stopped the meters away from Liu Yang's group.

The number of people this time was slightly greater than before, seven. The group had seven members, as opposed to the five the previous time.

"Interesting ... Young man, you are brave to wait for us in this same spot" The leader of the assassins praised. He had a spy watching Liu Yang's group all the time.

"I lost the previous battle, but I will not lose this time" Liu Yang spoke solemnly.

"Oh… interesting. I'm curious to know what kind of tricks you created to try to stop us this time. That's just a warning, some nobles are paying a good price for your head. "

"I see ... How much are they offering?" Liu Yang was curious to know how much the nobles were paying for his head. He knows that these nobles are people from another world like him.

For they would be the only ones who want his position as the leader of the initial village. Since he has unified all five initial villages.

But there were also some nobles from the Temore Kingdom, who feared that Liu Yang may become too strong and gain too much influence in the kingdom. This can affect the balance of power within the kingdom, they want to prevent this from happening. Having less competition was always better for those who are already at the top of power.

"They are paying a good price to kill you. A price of around ten thousand gold coins "

"I see ..." Liu Yang doesn't know if the first people to go to the Dark Continent were among the people who wanted to kill him, or were just those who didn't like him.

"As I already said everything I needed. You can die now "The leader of the assassins waved his hand.

Shuoooooo !!! Shuoooooo !!! Shuoooooo !!!

The six assassins took out their weapons and charged at Liu Yang. They didn't need to say anything and just needed to follow orders.

Liu Yang narrowed his eyes and took out a giant, heavy club.

The club looked like a big spiked baseball bat made of steel. This giant club looked like a steel block two meters long and half a meter wide. The club was forged using the materials Liu Yang found in soldiers 'and assassins' bags.

Using the iron of armor, the forge materials, Alwine's gloves and boots, the previous giant and heavy sword. Liu Yang mixed everything up and melted using the flames of the level 5 flaming golem.

Rosella had some items to help with the forge. This made it easier to shape the heavy steel club.

"Charge!!!!" Liu Yang charged while dragging the heavy club across the floor. A line was made during the charge.

"Auu!!!" June howled and followed Liu Yang from behind.

"Yes, young master" Alwine was wearing only a light steel armor set, but her hands and feet were empty. She preferred to fight with only her fists and kicks this time.

The fight was three against six. Each member of Liu Yang's group will fight two assassins.

Stomp !!!

"Ahhh!!!" Liu Yang stepped heavily on the ground and held his grip on the club before swinging towards the group of assassins.

Shuooooo !!!

The lateral swing was so strong that it made a powerful tone of the breaking wind.

This was the second round between Liu Yang's group and the assassins.
